Our Condition Financially.

The Treasury at Washington now
holds about 225,OO0,000 in gold and
nearly or quite the same 10 silver.
This is two much money for any
government to have, and it is not IN
reasonable to suppose that wild and
extravsgsnt legislation will be the
result. This is not all, under and
through the Internal Revenue there
is annually collected from the PEG.
pie about sI5O,OOO,0OO.
II the necessities Of the Govern.
ment required the collection Of this
vast sum annually from the people,
they would not complain, but it does
not. The obligations Of the Govern
ment have been all paid much faster
g than necessary aud much faster than
the good Of the country required.
While the Treasury is full to over.
flowing with these hundreds Of mil.
lions lying idle the people Of the
country have been deprived Of many
safe investments, and more straitened
than ever before.
Then we think reduction, or
rather so an abolition Of the national
taxes is imperitivsly demanded.
Down with the war tax, down with
the Internal Revenue.

A WARREN COUNTY GIRLS PLUCK,

The Warrenton Gaseue says Our
friend and neighbor, Mr.. W. G. Plummer,
escaped horrible death the other day by
the presence of mind ani bravery OF his
fifteen year old daughter, Miss Sue. She
was milking one of the cows and her faith
er was standing by her. Iu the pen was
fine three year old Jersey Bull Before he
was aware OF what had happened, the bull
had knocked Mr.. Plummer down from be.
hind, and when Miss Sue saw him, the en-
ragged animal Was standing over her father
with one of his horns on his throat, pre-
pairing to goad him. Without nom -nts
hesitation she seized him by the horns,
and with supernatural strength, managed
TO phil tho animals head little to one
side, when Mr.. Plammsr seizsl him By
the nose. With nose and horn holt they
managed to stop him until his son, Wal
ter, twho was in an adjoining lott ran up
and bent him of with stick. IL was u
narrow escape and Miss Sue is heroine.
Mr.. Plummer was badly bruised.
